Alec Baldwin was back in the latest episode of "Saturday Night Live" that aired on November 19. But at least one person is not happy with the actor's return to portray Donald Trump. The President-elect took to Twitter to criticize the show's portrayal of him. In the most recent outing, Baldwin poked fun at Trump's promises during his campaign.
Trump said that the show was totally one-sided, biased and not funny at all. "Equal time for us?" Trump wrote, referring to the "equal time rule," which is a policy put in a place during presidential elections but has no bearing after the result of the election has been revealed.
Equal time?
Election is over. There is no more equal time. Now u try 2 b Pres + ppl respond. That's pretty much it.

Hours after Trump posted his comment on Twitter, Baldwin finally responded to it by giving Trump some advice. Tweeting from his Alec Baldwin foundation account, Baldwin pointed out that there's no more equal time to split between two candidates.
You know what I would do if I were Prez? I'd be focused on how to improve the lives of AS MANY AMERICANS AS POSSIBLE.

I'd be focused on improving our reputation abroad, including actually fighting for freedom and not just oil.

Baldwin also touched the controversial appointments of Steve Bannon and Alabama senator Jeff Sessions to high-power positions. "I would make appointments that encouraged people, not generate fear and doubt," he added.

"I could go on. You want more advice, call me. I'll be at SNL," he tweeted, making it clear that he would continue to mock the real-estate-mogul on the show.
